Heswell please say what you mean I hate all that  beating around the bush!

clearly an unusual man then....

I do think you need bigger balls for No Limit (and probably a better game because of it)

i agree with the first part, but don't think the second follows. You need more MOVES in NL but a greater ability to TRAP and a greater emphasis on bet size in PL.

It is therefore at least worth suggesting that PL is more skilful but clearly a more passive game

 


nuttier than Cadbury's fruit and nut clearly

 

Pot limit: If in doubt ask dealer before you act what the pot is and say, should you wish "I raise the pot".

PL/NL is really only a distinction in the earlier stages of a comp when blinds are low. By the time blinds are high you will find fewer differences

In the early rounds, where you can only bet 200/300 and the pre flop all in is not a possibility, certainly not if you are the first to bet, then I would emphasise that the value of your big pairs falls (likely to be lots of opponents seeing the flop) and the value of drawing hands/suited connectors rises. This is because it is difficult for the made hand/big pair to bet the drawing hand out of the pot

Once the rebuy period finishes, revert to a no limit type game

faced with pot limit and no limit as options, I agree that PL requires finesse and skill down the streets. NL requires aggression and muscle.

All of my major results, all 3 of them ( ) are in PL

I think I'm in love.

Heswall 

because he won't try it again and you will feel a momentary burst of superiority over him and the rest of the table will fear you

mind you, I haven't looked up set on flop opponent turns the straight with 23 yet!

set vs set and overpair versus set according to my stats.....my two biggest losing situations

I sympathise

MOST people's biggest loosing stats I bet m8

yep, nothing else comes anywhere near. Both are "lose whole stack and start again" potential

However you check. In my opinion he is only showing you a 2 to make you think he has a set

if you have balls of a certain size re -raise him all in and look smug

 

OK, I Win!


I have seen this type of play a few times....it is always designed to make you fear the worst. Three times in my life I have faced it and in all three the gentleman was trying it on!

playing short stack in cash forces you to play the premium cards, a very patient game and pray your few opportunities hold up.

personally I try to be biggest stack at the outset, the flexibility it affords is enormous

in the situation in the orginial post, all in.

don't you check call?

and again oin the river even if you hit, on a paired board?

set vs set and overpair versus set according to my stats.....my two biggest losing situations

I sympathise

bet 2/3 of the pot, this should get you heads up to the turn


if you are raised then if he is a loosey you have to decide whether its an overpair or just two overcards

on a rag turn I would push again, get him worried about a BB holding of two pair
